Rimmer transfers to Florida

Los Angeles — Schuler Rimmer, a 6-foot-10 sophomore who left the Stanford team in late November, has transferred to Florida as a walk-on.

The Orlando, Fla., native appeared briefly in two games this season after playing in 14 last season, all off the bench. This season he had one point and two rebounds. Last year he totaled seven points and nine rebounds while averaging 4.9 minutes in 14 games.

He was expected to add front court depth this year. Stanford is without forward Reid Travis indefinitely because of a stress fracture, so redshirt sophomore Rosco Allen and freshman Michael Humphrey are the only post reserves behind starters Stefan Nastic and Grant Verhoeven.

Rimmer is allowed to practice with the Gators, but, as a midyear transfer, he won’t be eligible to compete until the end of the fall 2015 semester.
